Surprise! Sherrod Video Was Heavily Edited
Surprise! Sherrod Video Was Heavily Edited

You've probably seen the video of USDA employee (now former employee) Shirley Sherrod seemingly admitting to reverse racism:
http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/20/agriculture.employee.naacp/index.html?iref=NS1

Sherrod resigned Monday after conservative media outlets aired the video, in which she says she did not give the white farmer "the full force of what I could do" to help him avoid foreclosure.

And if that were the whole story, I would definitely agree that her resignation was warranted.

But as was the case with the famous ACORN "pimp" video, it would appear that once again we're not getting anywhere near the whole story...

the rest:

1. She needs to sue for slander
Breitbart is going to keep lying about everyone until he is forced to stop. Simply stating that he is a liar isn't enough. He needs to have his soapbox taken away so that he can't keep polluting the discussion.

7. Please write the White House over this

I just did. I blame the Obama administration for this. They need to rectify a terrible decision that they made.
